Name: Holes
Duration: P00H03M04S
Description: This song is about deciding whether to speak up and sound like an asshole or to not say anything at all. For a while this was a really common theme in my life. I'd lost my temper in conversations often enough that people who were close to me just assumed i was gonna be an asshole anytime i posed any type of differing opinion.

This song is about deciding whether to speak up and sound like an asshole or to not say anything at all. For a while this was a really common theme in my life. I'd lost my temper in conversations often enough that people who were close to me just assumed i was gonna be an asshole anytime i posed any type of differing opinion.

lyrics

skin is a wonderful, durable thing
and that's why it's hard to let anything from underneath
it burrows and festers, multiplies beneath
'till i burst from the pressure and all that is left of me is holes

holes

i've been bitting my tongue for the last couple weeks
now there's blood in my mouth and it's drowning my teeth
but if i could just spit out the words that i think
i'd keep myself safer from filling my tongue and cheeks with holes

hole

well i tried, oh how i've tried
just to keep it all inside
but i'll do anything, everything
just to feel alive tonight
lord i feel alive tonight

so just take a step back sir, i need space to breath
i've got a fire in my lungs and a will to unleash
but my words are like weapons, cut ties when i preach
so i swallow the ocean just in hopes of filling these holes
